Microsoft Word: New Instance For Each Document

[helloneo]

Is there any way around this? According to Microsoft there isn't (see: <a target="_blank" href=http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?id=kb;en-us;Q230684>http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?id=kb;en-us;Q230684</a>) but I could swear I got all documents to open in one window once before by tweaking something using RegEdit.... I just forget how I did it. Anyone know?

as the KB article explains, the MSWord logic has changed from MDI to SDI. No registry setting can override this logic change.

Does Microsoft do this sort of thing to torture people just because they can?

that's job enrichment... /images/w3t/icons/laugh.gif

But have you can get back the MDI effect (J just made some extra research and learning effort):

--------- quote MS Word Office XP ------------

On the Tools menu in your program, click Options, and then click the View tab.
